Paying for Your Prescription Drugs through the Mail Service Pharmacy
To receive an estimate of the total cost of your prescription
drug order, you may call CVS Caremark Customer Care at
1-866-875-MILA (6452). If your order includes drugs
that are subject to the Plan’s $500 prescription drug
deductible, the quotation should be regarded as an
estimate. The cost of drugs changes frequently and the
price you pay is the price on the day the prescription is
shipped to you.
The fastest and easiest way to fill your prescription is to supply your credit card number to CVS Caremark so your prescription will be filled immediately. You will receive a receipt with your prescription from CVS Caremark showing the actual amount charged to your credit card. You may place your credit card number on file with CVS Caremark so that future purchases will be expedited.
You may opt to pay for your prescriptions by check or money order. However, due to the variation in drug costs from day to day, you may want to establish a small account with CVS Caremark so funds are available as needed. CVS Caremark will not release any prescriptions unless there are sufficient funds in your account to cover your total cost for the prescription order. If your payment is insufficient to cover the cost of your prescription(s), a Member Accounts Receivable (AR) Representative may contact you to explain additional payment options that will expedite the shipment of your order.
